ELITE LEAGUE TOP FIVE

In Friday's match, Sheffield took advantage of an early powerplay to score through Dustin Kohn.

The Giants conceded a second goal at 11:09 when Jonathan Phillips beat home netminder Carsen Chubak.

Moments later on the powerplay the Giants got a chance to halve the deficit but Peacock's penalty effort was easily saved by Frank Doyle.

The Giants dominated the second period and got a goal back on the powerplay through Cheverie who found the far corner of Doyle's net.

Just before the end of the second period, Kevin Westgarth and Peacock did well to win the puck behind the Steelers net and when it came loose defenceman Brookwell netted a slap shot to level the game at 2-2.

In the third period, the Giants went 4-2 ahead through powerplay goals by Elfring and Sandrock.

Ben O'Connor pulled one back to revive Sheffield hopes but Peacock scored an empty-netter in the closing seconds.
